Is your keyboard / workstation set up correctly to minimise strain or whatever on your shoulder? I think an optimally positioned desk, keyboard, chair, screen etc should avoid much (any?) shoulder movement at all. You don’t say whether typing exacerbates the shoulder pain or if it’s just a background level of pain that’s bothering you while writing, though.
Typing doesn’t increase the shoulder pain. (As of the latest doctor’s visit, he thinks it’s actually more of a neck problem.) It’s more the general background level of pain that’s keeping me from being able to spend any time coming up with plot-stuff I want to write.
Sometimes the connection between pain and its cause aren’t obvious. I was having fairly severe random knee pains, and it turned out that getting my bike lubricated made them go away, even though the pain wasn’t happening when I was riding my bike or soon after riding it.
You might want to check on the ergonomics of everything you usually do.
